Abstract:
OAuth 2.0 deployments currently rely on bearer tokens for securing
access to protected resources. Bearer tokens require Transport Layer
Security to be used between an OAuth client and the resource server
when presenting the access token. The security model is based on
proof-of-possession: access token storage and transfer has to be done
with care to prevent leakage.
There are, however, use cases that require a more active involvement
of the OAuth client for an increased level of security, particularly
to secure against token leakage. This document specifies an OAuth
security framework using the holder-of-the-key concept, which
requires the OAuth client when presenting an OAuth access token to
also demonstrate knowledge of keying material that is bound to the
token.
